Madam Speaker, let me make it crystal clear. Members of the government are happy to take any number of questions on this subject, because the president of the commission has not been asked to resign and no inducement has been offered. The president of the commission herself seems to agree that no inducement has been offered. All of these questions indicate that this government has succeeded in stopping the boats and getting children out of detention, which is the real issue. Getting children out of detention is the real issue. This government has succeeded; members opposite monumentally failed.
